Micro-Star hard drive data removal area, Tampa, Florida 813.667.1000
......Many people are surprised when they realize that formatting the hard drive DOES NOT really wipe out the hard drive. Your data is still there and is accessible to most file recovery programs.
We use DoD (U.S. Department of Defense) standard of data wiping (described in DoD 5220.22-M.) We run "Wipedrive" 7 times, however, we go a step further in using the "Gutmann patterns" of overwriting data developed by Peter Gutmann of the University of Auckland.
Cut-away view of the inside of a hard drive, the round disk are called platters and hold all your data.
|
 Magnets, Degaussers and other x-ray or magnetic techniques do not work, even the large bulk eraser magnets are not effective.
|
 Drilling, smashing, torching and other external damage can still leave parts of the platters in decent shape to retrieve data through forensics.
|
 Expensive shredders are very effective. We recommend shredders if you don't have the time to wipe out the data by software means.
